With a combined investment of $50bn, Vietnam is now gaining traction and becoming a host spot in petrochemical market with mammoth projects back on track.

Vietnam’s GDP grew by an aggregate 7.2 percent in the last decade, while nearly 25 percent of the country’s domestic energy consumption comes from oil. Ranked 3rd in proved oil reserve after China and India in the APAC region with 4.4 thousand million barrels, Vietnam still remains a net importer of oil products.

Up to now, there is only one oil refinery in operation in Dung Quat to supply the country’s one third oil products. Vietnam needs to import more than 70 percent of the refined products and petrochemicals it needs. To enhance its oil and gas value and secure the continued economic growth, Vietnam government is now strongly committed to attracting foreign investors to boost up the nation’s downstream capacity, as reflected by billion-dollar refining and petrochemical complexes are being approved and EPC contracts awarded.
